Wills, Trusts and Estate Plans on A Good Goodbye Radio

A full 70% of Americans don’t have an estate plan, no wills or trusts. That’s a lot of people who don’t plan to die.

Many folks don’t realize the jeopardy they place their family finances by not planning the disposition of their estates. You don’t have to be a millionaire to need a trust.

Just having a will does not protect your money. While wills help direct who gets the money, probate court proceedings erode assets up to 7.4% on average. That equals $74,000 on a million dollar estate! What can a regular person do to pass their assets along without the courts eating up that money?

Attorney Jim Plitz with the premier estate planning law firm Morris, Hall & Kinghorn discusses these and other estate planning issues on A Good GoodbyeRadio on Wednesday, July 24.
